"Ok but be careful i don't trust him one bit".starlight said to her hoping that twilight will take her words to heart.
And after starlight left, twilight and sandro seated down and where about to start talking but before twilight said anything sandro spoke first.
"Aren't you you gonna wait for the new guest?. Sandro said to her in his regular tone of voice.
"What guest?". That was what twilight said when a blue flash appear in the room to later reveal a blue alicorn in the room but not like twilight it had some royal presence in her. But when sandro saw her she remained him of an individual from the time i went to the Invisible Library.
"Princess luna why are you here? and is that a sword?". Twilight ask the princess of the moon wondering why she came here like she was going to war.
"I came here because you sent a letter to sister about a monster in ponyville in i came instead of her. So where is the beast so we can slay it and returned to our duty".luna said ready her sword to battle vs the new evil that came to do harm.
"Well aren't you gonna introduce me to your friend here or shell we wait and see if she can spot the "monster" in the room". Sandro said in a tone of amusement in his voice.
Luna turn to see the one speaking and when she turn around she saw the strange individual and she felt something familiar about him and she then said out loud.
"No it can be. Nightmare moon? Why are here? What is this illusion?". Luna said anger in her voice ready to strike this stranger. But before the blade reach the necromancer luna froze in place she did not understand what happened but she was started to feel something she did not felt in some time it was fear.
"LUNA. What did you do to her you said you will not harm any pony as long as you are here and you broke your promise that fast". Twilight was angry but before she said anything else her guest spoke.
"Don't worry your majesty i did only a lvl two paralysis spell she is in no form of harm what so ever and i will now remove the spell from her so she can tell me her self who is this "nightmare moon" and why she think i have any connection to her". As he said that sandro remove the spell from luna and she put her sword down and set on the floor in what can be fear of this masked monster.
"Now lets start in introduction shell we my name is Alejandro Dela Segadora but call me Alejandro for short and from the shouting i got from young twilight you are princess luna pleasure to meet you". Sando said and doing his signature bow to show some respect to the mere in in front of him.
"Why yes and sorry for the sword and all you remind of somepony from my past my long long past but i see i was in the wrong i hope you will forgive me". Luna said bow her head in shame in front of twilight new guest hoping he will forgive her.
"Oh pish posh no need to apologize after all my appearance scream dark magic and i need to ask you something as well if you don't mind me asking?. Sandro said to her for something is bothering him from the moment that mere appear in front of him.
"Why yes go ahead it's the least i could do after my out burst so what do you what to ask?". Luna said to him hoping this will be some from of a way of apologize to him properly.
"Well my question is very simple does the name "Malassa"mean anything to you or the name Malsara?". Sandro said in order to see if is suspiciousness are correct about this mere.
"No i can't say i know this names but know after you said them they have some feelings of nostalgia to them but i can't understand why".luna said like she was supposed to remember something important.
"Why is this name have any form of significance to you Alejandro?". Twilight ask the necromancer in hope to get some answers from him about is world.
"Not really but i think we need to understand one more thing who is this Nightmare moon? And why i starting to think she is more connected to you lady luna". Sandro said in order to learn more about the new princess.
"Well its a long story so let be start at the beginning". Luna said and she started to tell sandro the story from the start of her and her sister and all they did for the land of equestria from the rule of discord, the fall of sombra and rise and banishment of Nightmare moon to the point were the new elements of harmony saved her from her Nightmare form.
"I must say your story is full of sadness and you have my sympathy but rest knowing that if i can help you in any way you have my word as a scholar of the seven cities i will help ". He lied but he needed the trust of the princess in order to gain more power in this world.
"You have my gratitude sir Alejandro". Luna said feeling better and more calm she set down on the floor to her comfort.
"We are back. And i brought tea for everypony". Starlight and spike entered the room bringing tea and biscuits for everypony when suddenly spike saw the new guest of the castle and like meany ponies he said one word.
"A MONSTER". Spike shouted at the guest like a maniac.
"A STUPID DRAGON BABY". Sandro shouted back at the dragon whelp in a insulting tone.
"Hey i am not stupid you freak". Spike said anger in is tone of voice.
"And i am not a monster you brat. I mast say miss Twilight you need to show your slaves some from of manner in front of guests". Sandro said to to Twilight to see were this will go from that point.
"WHAT spike is not a slave is my number one assistant". Twilight said furious at Alejandro.
"Well i guess you are right. Sorry didn't mean to call you a monster". Spike said to sandro hoping for forgiveness.
"No need young drake if i knew miss Twilight steward is a dragon whelp i would have act appropriate. But i accept your apology". Sandro said and to his mind he was angry about the fact he apologize to a dragon made him sick.
"Well before i will start to answer the questions of miss Twilight like i promise to her do any of you a question to ask me?". Sandro said to every one in the room to see if some one will step.
"Well i have three questions if you don't mind?". Starlight ask the new guest.
"Well go ahead and maybe i can shed some starlight on your question sorry for the bad pun i couldn't resist". Sandro said to her laughing as he said it. She and the rest of the room did not find it funny except from luna for some reason.
"Well in that case one you said you are a lich so can you take off the mask?".
"Starlight you don't need to worry he promise he won't hurt anypony give him a chance". Twilight said but before she can say more sandro spoke.
"Don't worry your majesty your student is correct in not trusting me after all i am a stranger in your lands and it is expected but i will answer your questions even so". Sandro said to the unicorn that he sense strong magic from.
"Well lets start one no i will not take this mask off trust me if we want to build trust i will prefer to keep it on for know".
"now that all said and done can me and miss Twilight can continue our exchange of knowledge before any more". Before sandro finish is sentence the castle doors opened and then this happened.
"Twilight were home". Suddenly five meres enter the castle to see Twilight,starlight,spike,luna and a unknown Creature.

chapter three-introductions part 2:the elements and the duke pony of Costa Del Toro
Sandro first person narrative:
"this was going good all according to plan but then they had to show up. Five stupid,hypocritical,useless meres came in. That i think the only use for them is they all got together the charisma of a ghoul and no my acolytes not ghouls only one ghoul. So when they saw me i knew that i will need to do the nice necromancer shtick all over again so i had to act fast and i had the most stupid but genius idea if i don't get scorn by miss twilight or luna i will have the best of both worlds or it will bite me in my bony ass well in this case of my idea my acolytes bony flank. VOID TAKE ME".
twilight castle:
"twilight watch out". Rainbow dash said ready to attack the monster in the castle.
"oh i think not". Sandro said lifting his hand to them and second after he does that all five meres fall to the ground all most lifeless.
"what did you do! ". Everybody in the castle said at the necromancer. And all so checking if their friends alive.
"twilight all of them are ok but i cant wake them up". Starlight said panic in her voice.
"Alejandro you better explain yourself or you will suffer the wrath of the moon!". Luna said using her royal canterlot voice.
"SIT DOWN ALL OF YOU NOW!!". Sandro command them is voice powerful and full of rage but what was most surprising about is voice it wasn't in the open it was in their head.
At this point all the wake ponies and dragon where on the floor and they could not move and their bravery became fear in seconds.
"Now allow me to explain actions to the fullest i promise you after you will hear them you will see the logic behind it. And i promise to release you from your binds and all so the town and your friends". He said to them so he can be done with this drama.
"Ok then tell us why you incapacitated everypony except from us and it better be good". Twilight said using a demanding tone.
"Because miss twilight the four of you are the only ones that know what i am so far and in order to move in this world with out someone or somepony will scream monster". Sandro said laughing at the end of is words.
"What idea?". Starlight said confusion in her voice.
"Why miss starlight your second part of your second question to me".... Sandro answer her in hope she will get it.
"You mean you will...that can work!". Starlight said after hearing is plan.
"I don't follow". Spike said not understanding what happened.
"Be quiet now the grown ups are talking". Sandro said to spike.
"So your plan is to transform to a pony so everypony will not be afraid of you". Luna said to him to see if she understand the plan.
"Well it can work but what all about the ponies that saw you coming to town?". Twilight ask him to see how he will fix that.
"Well first twilight i will preform a memory altering spell on the town and your friends so the monster they saw will be some beast from your world and that you mange to drive it away but your friends got hit and fell unconscious". Sandro said to the room.
"So lets get started now if you don't mind i will not use magic for this. And one two and". The moment he said that no more a tall bipedal necromancer stood in his place but a very tall pony in the color of white and spots of brown on top of his body a gold and bronze armor and a bull like helmet on his head,a red cape and a short sword next to him and last his face pure and young.
"Now how do i look?". He ask them his voice changed he had a voice like sombra but less menacing.
"wow you are gorgeous ". The three meres said to him.
"Why are you this tall ponies are not that tall". Spike said to up set by his new form.
"Well first thank you ladies. And to answer you young dragon i am not a pony i am a costa del toro horse". He said to the dragon.
"Whats a horse?". Spike ask him.
"Well that is a stupid question you live next to horses and you don't know what is a horse?". Sandro said to him and he was all so confused how he did not knew what a horse is.
"Because i lived next to ponies". Spike said to him in a condescending voice.
"Did you roll on your head in your egg a pony is a subclass of a horse the definition of a pony is a small horse". Sandro said to him in anger how this child don't know basic knowledge.
"Well that is the first we hear about this and we are thousand years old". Luna said to the room.
"Well after our plan will begin i need to teach you some basic academics". Sandro said to them in a depressing voice.
"Well never mind that so do we all know the plan". Sandro said to them.
"Yes we know now lift your spell. I hope this work for your sake". Twilight said to him angry.
"Don't worry i am lifting the spell in three two one and". Sandro hit the floor using his hoof and everypony started to wake up.
"Well show time". Sandro said to him self.
"what happened?". Applejack said waking up from her sleep.
"girls finally you woke up you had us worried of a second". Starlight said to the rest of the girls bringing them some water.
"why where we asleep?". Fluttershy ask starlight as she was drinking her water.
"you don't remember?". Starlight ask them.
All five mares nodded left to right to signal a no gesture.
"well follow me to the dining room and i will explain on the way". Starlight said to them as they began to walk to the dining room and get some answers.
On the way to the dining room starlight was telling them what happened about the monster,lunas help in the battle,the five of them getting hit and falling unconscious up to the point they woke up.
"well you girls go ahead i need to check the school. Say bye for Twilight for me". Starlight said to them as she left the castle.
"hi Twilight ". All the rest of the elements said to her.
"girls you woke up". Twilight said to them and hugging in joy. "spike is in the kitchen making something to eat and luna is talking to our guest". She said to them and walking with them.
"what guest? ". The five mares said as they enter the room.
In the dining room they saw luna talking to a very tall earth pony dress as a knight. Rainbow and applejack where suspicious of this new pony, fluttershy was starting to get scared, pinkie was well pinkie and rarity was the only one that saw some charm in the strange pony.
"ah i see you girls are ok then?". Luna ask the mares as they enter the room.
"yes princess luna ". The five mares replay to her.
"good then i bid you farewell i need to inform my sister what happened here. It was good to meet you duke and i hope you will come to visit canterlot we will be glad to have you". Luna said to the new pony in the room.
"i will take you on your offer lady luna have a safe travel". Sandro said to her as she fade from the room in a blue glow.
"ah yes allow me to introduce Alejandro Dela Segadora duke of the bull duchy in the land of costa del toro". Twilight announcing her friends to the new pony.
"and duke Alejandro allow me to introduce the rest of the elements of harmony and my friends: applejack,fluttershy,pinkie pie,rainbow dash and rarity". Twilight announcing the new pony to to her friends.
"hi i am fluttershy". She said to him in a quiet voice.
"Its nice to meet all of you and a very much pleasure to meet you miss rarity its nice to meet a proper lady unlike some pony in the room". Sandro said to the mare as he grab her hoof and kiss it.
"My lord Segadora what a gentlecolt". Rarity said a red blush appears on her face.
"Please lord segadora is my house name call Alejandro". Sandro said given a small bow to the mare.
"Anyway duke Alejandro is going to stay here for some time til we can arrange a better housing for him so i hope you girls can help him get by in ponyville". Twilight said to her friends.
"Sure we will help lets jest hope the rest of town will all so help us". Applejack said in responds to Twilight request.
"Then it's settled so i can only say three words Alejandro welcome to ponyville". Twilight said to him cheer in her voice.
"My gratitude your majesty to you and your friends". Sandro said giving a small bow to them.
"Food is ready come get it while it's hot!". Spike said shouting for them to come to the table.
"Finally i am starving lets go to the table". Twilight said to them hungry as well a"horse".
"After you ladies will we eat i will tell you about my life in my home country and you can tell me about your lives" sandro said as they all want to the table to eat. Maybe he will learn something about the mares that will give him some advantage.

chapter four-dinner and a show
Sandro first person narrative:
"well my acolytes my plan worked better then i expected. Miss twilight's friends had no clue of what happened to them the down side of this plan was that i had to use the mask of false face to do this illusion, i will probably will get a well inquisitive questioning from the young princess but it will come later. For now i need to deal with the so call "elements of harmony" but the worst thing about that dinner that the friends of miss twilight will ask me questions,now how do i know they will ask questions you must wonder?. Well it's simple really they are a group of mares in our world they will be ladies well some of them at least and in all of my lives in ashan,enroth and my short stay in Axeoth i learn this, women love to talk and ask questions. But in order for me to learn the secrets of this world i need to earn the trust of this little ponies first".
twilight castle:dining room
The six's mares,dragon and stallion where eating talking and laughing. Sandro of course did not need to eat but he used is magic to make it like he eat the food in order to trick the young mares and then twilight started to say something and from there sandro knew the questions will begin so he played his part in it as well.
"This food is amazing spike". Twilight said to the young dragon that she treated like a brother.
"Thanks twilight i added some new ingredients i got from gabby when she drop the mail this week". Spike said in replay
"Yes young steward this food is very good but i must say that i noticed you only have fruits and vegetables and gems for your self for some reason, by the way young spike can you bring me some red wine and some wild boar if you have some". Sandro said to the dragon.
"I think we have red wine but why do you what a boar to come here anyway?". Twilight ask Alejandro not understanding him.
"Yes why do you need a boar to drink wine they are such filthy brutes". Rarity said to the duke in a lady like tone.
"You think i gonna drink wine with the boar? Sandro said to them.
"yes ". All the mares plus dragon said to him.
Then they did not expect what he did after that he started laughing.
"Hahahahah poor mares how naive and sheltered life did you have". He said to them a smile on his face.
"And what the hay that is supposed to mean". Applejack said to him offended by his words.
"Well i will only say this red wine goes better with a boar then let say chicken". Sandro said to her a smile on his face.
"What a chicken have to do... With... That.....". Then it hit applejack like nothing she ever heard and she was angry very angry.
"Applejack stop this at once Alejandro is a guest here and what ever you think he say i am sure it was a misunderstanding". Twilight said to her in a disappointed tone.
"Well your guest jest ask you if you had some boar to eat". Applejack said to her not removing her eyes from the stallion.
"WHAT!! ". The rest yell and where looking at him as well.
"Did you really what to eat meat?". Twilight ask him in shock.
"If you don't have boar i can eat some veal instead". he said to her like nothing
"How can you eat meat that is wrong in so many ways". Rainbow dash said to him.
"I think i gonna be sick". Fluttershy said to her self.
"Now girls i am sure the duke can explain all of this". Rarity said to them in hope that no argument will start.
"Thank you miss rarity and to answer your question with another question have you ever have you ever tried to eat meat before in your life?". Sandro ask them.
"well no ". They all say to him.
"Then you can't judge me for eating meat that was something we all did in costa del toro and only after you try some you can say what you want". He said to them and all of the mares started to think and wonder about that and he knew he had to revert the talking to something more to is liking or he will never earned the trust of the mares.
"So from what luna said to me the six of you are the "elements of harmony" so what exactly is that?". He ask them in order to get some info on them.
"Well its a long story but the short version is that the elements are artifacts that represent a trait that connect to us and together its boost are power". Twilight said to him in responds.
"Ya the elements are awesome we manege to beat every bad guy using them and i bet you probably don't have something like that in your country". Rainbow dash said to him in a using a smug face.
"Well no we don't have something like that we have something more practical to use against our enemies". Sandro said to them not really impressed of this so call "elements" knowing that back in ashan much stronger artifacts exists.
"So when a big bad vermin is causing havoc in your country how are you dealing with them?". Applejack asked him.
"Well that depends on the threat but most of the time its end by execution". Sandro said to her and taking a sip of wine.
"You jest kill them like it was nothing" applejack said to him and the more she talk to him the more she can't trust him.
"Its not like its the worst thing that can happened you can also become a slave like the rest of the half breeds or be hunted like an animal by a noble". He said to them in a casual tone.
"You enslave other creatures". Pinkie said and her mane started to deflate.
"That is jest wrong why any pony what to live in a place like this didn't you care for any pony or animal". Fluttershy siad in a mix of crying and sadness.
"Well to be honest i wasn't part of this if you want to complain do it to the ruling family of the holy falcon empire. Plus i was busy studying in the Academy of Magic in the city of Al-Betyl and for your information i only care for two individual my hole life and both are dead so DON'T JUDGE ME YOU INSOLENT PONY!!". Sandro yelled at fluttershy and then he saw them looking at him in a manner to familiar he saw in them terror.
For two minutes silence no one spoke all of the ponies where in shock and fluttershy hiding under the table and then the silence was broken by rarity.
"Mister Alejandro your eyes are glowing and i am sure that fluttershy didn't meant to upset you". Rarity said to him afraid that he will do something else.
"I don't care if she meant it or not i will not be judged by somepony that can't even hold her ground in an argument". Sandro said to rarity in tone of spite.
"Hay don't talk to rarity like that". Spike said to him in anger.
"(if you don't what her to know how you feel for her you will stop talking whelp)". Sandro said to spike using telepathy.
Spike was then looking at him using a face that said how do you know that but he got silence from him.
"What happened to your eyes?". Twilight ask the angry necromancer.
"Magic outburst when i calm down it will stop". He said to her and looking at his plate.
"Well i think you need to apologize to fluttershy". Rainbow dash said to him.
"She is right sugarcube even if she made you upset you could have act differently". Applejack said to him all so.
"Ya that was very mean if you can apologize now we will have your welcome to ponyville party". Pinkie pie join her friends.
After listening to their hypocrisy for so long sandro had enough he needed to get out before he will do something they will regret later on.
"Excuse me miss twilight what can you tell me about the forest next to your village?". Sandro asked her.
"Well its the everfree forest its a place full of monsters and bad magic to wild to control. Why do you ask?". Twilight asked him wondering about his question.
"So its pretty much quiet if somepony whats to take a walk". He said to her.
"Yes you can say that why?". She ask again.
"Well then excuse me girls but i am going for a walk don't follow me". Sandro said to them i a blunt way.
When he left the table rainbow dash stop him and said to him.
"You not going anyware until you apologize to fluttershy". She said to him in a determined tone.
To his respond was only to unsheathe his sword and he said to her only three words "move or die". Sandro said to her his sword next to her face.
"Rainbow dash move now". Twilight said to her friend she knew rainbow have no chance against him.
Before he left the castle he stop for a second and then he said something disturbing to twilight in telepathy.
"(miss twilight i am a patient man but if your friends will not know their place then you and them will face the horrors of necromancy at first hand)". Sandro said to her and he left the castle thinking only one thing.
"Alma how much i miss you".

chapter five- the necromancer and the dark woods
Author's Note
Sandro
So i put some new characters.
chapter five- the necromancer and the dark woods
Sandro first person narrative:
"so were was i ah yes i left twilight's castle in a storm of rage not my best moment but i will think of a way to salvage this.
everfree forest:night time
It was a long walk from ponyville to the forest but sandro made it and he felt raw magic all over the forest it made him have a small nostalgic feelings to the time he was in the spider cult. Sandro kept walking to the forest and then he stop looking at the woods and began to speak.
"Who ever you are come out of the shadows i will prefer to speak to my stalker in person". Sandro said to no one.
From the dark woods a pony came out well a very short zebra wearing golden trinkets on her body that remind him of the shamans of the orc tribes.
"You are far deep in the everfree are you lost pony or is it danger what you seek?". She said to him in form of a rhyme.
"Great she talk in rhymes". Sandro said to himself.
"So i will once more are you friend or are you foe". She ask him for an answer.
"I will answer your constant query if you stop this insufferable rhyming". Sandro said to her in her very own form of rhyme speech.
"Very well so now if you don't mind i what to talk to your true form it will be more pleasant". She said to him a smile on her face.
"Well you are full of surprises little shaman, very well just don't scream in panic". Sandro said to her his eyes glow in a a sick green color and no more a pony stood but the former human now stand before her.
"The name is Alejandro Dela Segadora but since you saw through my disguise you may call me by my common name, i am the great Nethermancer sandro. And what is your name shaman?". Sandro ask her.
"Well i'm impressed you know i am a shaman you my call me Zecora and if i my ask you great Nethermancer sandro what is a Nethermancer?". Zecora ask him in respond.
"Well i will answer your query zecora and please just sandro, anyway a Nethermancer is a necromancer studying and practicing the magic of the void. Nethermancers come to be from the very skilled Necromancers distinguished for their perfection of the art of raising undeath. However, they manage to take Necromancy to a whole new level by venturing into the Void of the death and searching to bind its powers to their own bidding". sandro explain her the answer to her query.
"I know of necromancy but to bind the power of the aether to become something more is well". Before she said another word sandro spoke. " I believe the word you are looking for is well "evil". Sandro said to her.
"To some yes the aether is an unnatural power that corrupt all that use it but you mange to bind and master over it." zacora said to him in response.
"Yes well i will love to tell you my story and maybe you will tell me about this forest but do you know a place that is more not in the open?". Sandro ask her and looking at the woods at the same time.
"Yes we can go to my hut and talk more there". She said to him
"By all means lead the way". Sandro said giving a small bow.
On the way to zecora's hut sandro notice some one is observing them. "We are being watch by something". Sandro said to her. "Keep moving my hut is close". Zacora said to him.
When they reach zacora's hut they heard the howling at very close and appeared before them a large pack of 30 to 40 wooden wolves.
"Timberwolves and many of them i never saw so much at one place". Zacora said in the open.
"Great more puns". Sandro said to himself looking at the wooden wolves.
As the wolves began to move zacora spoke. "Well it was good to know you necromancer but fate wants us dead". She said to him terrifying that she will meet her end soon.
"No i have a plan a long shot of a plan but it can work". Sandro said to her.
At this moment the wolves began to run and at this point sandro spoke to them. "By the will of Sylanna i invoke the act of truce between me and the will of the forest". After sandro said that the wolves stop at their place and a huge wooden wolf came in front of him and began to talk.
"You dare invoke the will of the mother of the earth, you who spread the taint of the void in her lands why should we accept your words of truce". The large wolf said to sandro.
"Because you large pile of bonefire i was sent to this world by The Spider Queen her self". Sandro said to the spirit of the forest.
"The all mother sand you here. Then we know where you must go from here to the old ruins of the children's of light and shadow". The spirit said to him in respond to his words.
"What is your name warden of the forest?". Sandro ask the wolf.
"We have no name but you my call us the Watcher of the everfree, but the shaman will not follow we will send a small pack of 10 wolves to guide her out of the forest till your task is done". The watcher said to him in demand.
"Very well lets go to this ruins of yours but before that zacora when you leave the forest go to miss twilight and inform her that she must order her ponies to not go to the forest til the next week understand". Sandro said to his new shaman companion.
"I will sand her the message, and may the spirits protect you Sandro". She said to him in respond.
And they part ways zacora and a company of 10 wolves to ponyville and sandro along side the rest of the wolves to the castle ruins. It was a long walk sandro notice the wild life making way and running away from them out of the forest like they know something bad is gonna happened. At the and of the long journey they reach the ruins and they began to talk.
"From this point on we will not follow you Nethermancer you must go to the end of the ruins and seek the the lost prisoner he can tell you of what is the purpose that the mother creator send you to this realm". The watcher said to sandro and left to the woods to return to is eternal vigil of the everfree.
"Well then lets see what lies beneath this old ruins". Sandro said to him self as he enter the castle.
castle of the two sisters:
It was dark, old, full of dust and full of magic sandro was impressed after this search of the truth of this world maybe he will move to this place it will fit the undead atmosphere in a very good way.
"Come out from your place of hiding i know you see me and the forest Watcher said you can help me clear something about way that foolish dragon sand to this place". Sandro said to his new stalker in order to provoke it to come out of hiding.
Suddenly a blast of shadow energy came out of all the castle and a huge shade came to be and a voice so deep came to.
"Do not dare to insult the will of the Multifaced Goddess for you are a "defiler" of her work". The shade said to sandro in anger.
"I am no loger bound by the dogma of the dragon gods they can't do anything to me, and you talk so high and mighty for a prisoner in this world like me so why are you here "Faceless of Malassa". Sandro said to the Faceless, he know of the ancient race he got to know them when he enter the Invisible Library after all.
The shade then turn to a floating body it had dark purple skin and wings and he had no legs he had long tendrils of mass shadow and his face was only a mask like the one sandro was using.
"You know of my kind "defiler" but i am more powerful then the rest of my kin for much like you i all so use the power of the void but i did it to aid my kin against the celestial cohorts and by doing so i was condemned by Malassa to this realm to protect her child of shadow". The faceless said to sandro.
"I see and by child of shadow do you mean lady luna?" sandro ask him.
"The one they call luna is one of the children of the "Keeper of the deadly secrets" but luna is her herald in this realm and i was send here to guard her chosen the "umbral king" but the ponies know him by the name king sombra". the prisoner said to him.
"So why the dragon of Darkness need some ponies to be guard by a faceless, by the way what is your name? My name is sandro and yours is?". Sandro ask him.
"I am the lost prisoner but before that it was judeais. And the reason why i am here is bound to me in a seal of silence but beware if you break the seal the warden of my cell will come and will see me dead". Judeais said to sandro in a warning words.
"Its a chance i wiling to take now step back". Sandro said to him in respond.
At this moment sandro lift his staff and void power came out of it and shutter the seal and the lost prisoner was a prisoner no more.
"Now tell me what is our purpose in this world". Sandro said in demand.
Suddenly a huge roar came outside the castle and then judeais said to him,"the warden has come to this world ". He told sandro.
"That is no warden, come on getup and lets go meet our new gust". Sandro said to him.
As they exit the castle they see a giant Dragonwraith the size of a mountain staring at them.
"Well we meet once more sandro ". The Dragonwraith said to sandro.
"Yes its good to see you to Archon Belketh". Sandro said in spite he now knew this will only end in battle.

chapter six(will of the necromancer part 1) -confrontation and the truth
Sandro first person narrative:
"Archon Belketh my old teacher and nemesis why he came to this place i do not know but he will not stop me i will learn what is the reason asha send me here, even if i need to destroy all that stand against my wrath".
Everfree forest:castle of the two sisters:
It was dark but not dark as luna's night it was dark by unholy magic and everypony felt it and saw it the sky was black and green not even the sun could pierce it and at the center of this three figures stood in place the:the faceless judeais,the necromancer sandro and Belketh in a possessed Dragonwraith. As dark magic began to form in the Dragonwraith so did the necromancer ready to strike his former teacher's pet. When suddenly a flash was seen in between the two necromancers and in the middle stood a single pony it was princess twilight sparkle and she began to speak to sandro.
"Alejandro what in the name of celestia are you doing first you insult my friends then you threat them and me and now this storm of dark magic came from nowhere and started to cause havoc in the kingdom i trusted you once but no longer now you will answer for all of this". Twilight said to him in fury.
"Not now princess, if you don't mind you are in the middle of something you can't comprehend". Sandro said in response to her.
"I don't care you will come with me or i will take you by force". She said to him ready to strike him using her magic horn.
"HAHAHAHAH SHE HAVE ALOT OF SPIRIT TELL ME PONY IS SANDRO YOUR FRIEND OR YOUR FOE?". The loud voice behind twilight said to her.
"Who said that". Twilight said and she turn around and saw the most terrifying and horrible dragon she ever saw. It was big as the former dragon lord torch but she saw no flesh,blood and muscle it was only bones and was cover in dark spectral color and his eyes glow in a dark fell green. It was so monstrous she began to fear and all most cry.
"DID YOU NOT HEAR ME CHILD ARE YOU A FRIEND TO SANDRO OR NOT". The dragon said to her.
Twilight did not say a word she was struggling not to cry or dying from literally out of fear.
"If you don't turn your aura of terror she will die standing up and that will be not good for my image you know". Sandro said to belketh in is normal condescending tone.
"VERY WELL THEN I WILL TURN IT OFF". The undead dragon said to him and turn of is aura.
After doing so twilight started to hyperventilate and she was shaking from fear then she started to cry and said "i don't want to die" over and over till a certain shadow ease her mind.
"I am not dead?". She ask.
"You are fine small one". The shadow said to her.
" Yes for the upcoming "new ruler" of your land you need to stand your ground not beg for your life". Sandro said to her.
" Now then can you answer my question, are you a friend of sandro or not". The dragon in question ask her for the last time.
"Well i will like to answer that but i don't know who is sandro". Twilight said to him in panic.
"That will be me miss twilight". Sandro said to her. She turn around and said " wait your name isn't Alejandro?". She ask him in response only to get an answer from the dragon.
" So you didn't even told them your name sandro, so much for not lying and scheming in your new life in this world". The dragon said to the necromancer.
" Well i did not lie to you princess my name was Alejandro but when i became a necromancer i was reborn as sandro". Sandro said to her.
" So from the start you lie to all of us for no reason" she said to him in anger.
" First i did not lie to you or your friends for no reason i had my reasons but i chose not to tell you of them. Second i did not lie to all of you i told some of the truth to the lovely shaman that live in the forest". Sandro said to her in a calm way.
"Zacora did say something about an acquaintance of mine in the forest when she came out of the forest". Twilight said to her self.
" I am so sorry to interrupt this discussion of yours but i am need of an answer pony or i will burn your town and rise the dead for some slaves". The undead dragon said to her in a dark tone.
Twilight had to think for a moment and then said her answer "no he is not a friend". Twilight said to the dragon thinking she is gonna die but she didn't care.
"Good then my task will be much more easy". The dragon said. And he turn to her and said " begone from this place child you give me the answer i seek so you are no longer needed, from now it is a mater only for the three of us not you". The dragon said to her in demand.
" I am to be the ruler of this land and if you are gonna discuss anything about this land i have the right to know what is it". She said to him and then she remember something he said. "Did you say the three of you?" she ask the dragon.
Then the dragon stare at her close and said "very well you may stay here and listen but do not interrupt us you may talk only if we ask you to talk,agree?". The dragon said and ask her.
She only nod her head up and down out of fear, and then sandro started to talk.
" Well now that we are in agreement why not start all over i will start: twilight my name is sandro former member of the cult of the spider and now leader of the order of the void, next to me is judeais a member of the ancient race known as the faceless they are the servants of the dragon goddess of darkness Malassa". The faceless in question appear before her he had only a torso no legs instead he had tendrils on is back he had bone like butterfly wings and he was the color of dark purple and she did not see a face only a mask like sandro. " It is good to finally meet you friend of the shadows i am judeais and know this by helping the herald of my mistresses you gain her fervor". The faceless said to the pony princess.
"Its nice to meet you to i think". Twilight said to judeais and she try to understand what is this deed he mentioned to her.
" And last but not least princess twilight sparkle my i introduce to you Archon Belketh Leader of the Necromantic Cult,High Lord of Heresh and to many in my world he is known as the Angel of Death. Plus he is my old teacher to the path of necromancy". Sandro said to her as he was done introducing them.
" And judeais, Belketh this is princess twilight sparkle princess of friendship, element of magic, hero of all pony kind and successor to the throne of equestria". Sandro said to them and he stop talking.
Twilight was in awe not only that sandro knew so much about her she now all so know that the dragon before her was death it self and he was the necromancer's teacher. She now understand that this is not a game and the ones before her can be more powerful then the elements, the princesses and even discord.
" I did not know death was a dragon and that he had students". She said to Belketh.
" No child i am not a dragon this is only a body of a dragon i possessed when i don't feel like going any where my true form is of an angel". Belketh said to her.
"Anyway what is the reason for asha to send me to this realm the anticipation is killing me". Sandro said to his former master.
"Very well i will be to the point, asha had send you here to save this world". Belketh told him
"And from what i need to save this world from if i may ask?". Sandro ask him.
"In one year from this point now this land will experience its first blood moon eclipse and then the gates of Ur-ignis will open and the forces of the Demon Sovereign will bring death and destruction to this realm". Belketh said to him is warning.
"Ur-ignis? I do not know this demon hold how can i stop this invasion if i don't know where to look". Sandro said to his former master in response.
"I believe the ponies call it tartarus and the gate will not be close by any form of magic it was build by Urgash him self as a mockery of asha's work". Belketh said to sandro.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME" twilight scream in a royal canterlot voice. "Not only that our prison is a stronghold of demons that can't be close or be stop but you are telling me that my world, my home and my friends and family will be destroyed in one year". Twilight started to cry as she stop talking.
"I never said it can't be stop i said it can't be stop by any from of magic or blade". Belketh said to the pony in front of him.
"So how do we stop this demon invasion?". Twilight ask him in desperation.
"Long time ago when asha build your world she new of her brother plan so to counter this she made safe plan, hiding around the world of yours are 13 ancient obelisks that can be access by a member of the order of the dragon knights and every one of this obelisks contain a fragment of the location of the the only artifact that can save your world the Tear of Asha". Belketh said to them as they where listening to him.
" Well then how are we supposed to find a member of the dragon knights in this place". Sandro said in frustration.
"That is the second thing i came to tell you in order to do that you need to find the place where the sun shine in the most darkest of places". Belketh said to him in response.
"And sandro i am here to inform you that if you succeed in your task asha will return you to ashan as a reward". Belketh said to his former student.
"Very well tell asha we have a deal and that i will bring an end to this demon threat along side my new pony alliance this world will be safe, but before that i need to have a base of command if you know what i mean". Sandro said to him in response.
"Very well but after this you better clean up your mess". He said to sandro.
"But of course you have my word". Sandro said to him.
"Your word is like goblin shit sandro. Princess i hope you will win this war for if not all will be lost". As he said that to twilight he began to disappear and the undead dragon was gone.
"So what now?". Twilight ask the necromancer only to get only three words "know we build". As he said that sandro was starting to channeling dark magical energy to the castle of the two sisters it was only ten minutes but after that the old ruined castle was gone and know stood there a dark necropolis full of fell powers and unholy magic.
"What did you do?" twilight said in fear. After she said that sandro turn to her and he lift the mask of his face and said to her." my dear twilight this is the beginning of our story of how we will win the war against the demon tide". As sandro said this to her twilight for the first time saw the necromancer's face and she did not expected a skull and a very sick green eyes.
"What are you?". Twilight ask him in fear now that she know of the necromancer true form.
Sandro had a plan a bad one but he needed her to know that he was in charge and not her. "Well twilight I am the Shadow of Death, come to harvest your soul".

chapter seven(will of the necromancer part 2)-welcome to castle marrowgrave
Sandro first person narrative:
"i did it my acolytes i had my base of operations my new necropolis and from here a new dawn will come to my enemies and to the enemies of princess twilight sparkle a dawn of harmonic death, no man,pony or demon will stand in my way this is the new dawn of the dead. But first i need to show the princess around the new castle of the two sisters or in its new name... Marrowgrave kala."
marrowgrave castle royal guest bedroom:
"I AM THE SHADOW OF DEATH COME TO HARVEST YOUR SOUL". It was in twilight head and then she woke up from her nightmare cover in cold sweat like she was about do die only to find her self in a bed larger then the beds in canterlot and to find the room she is in have a gothic architecture design, and then she saw that you can't see the sun no matter what you do a strong necrotic magic cover 40 percent of the everfree and now from her window you can see only dead woods, graves and no living being in vision. Then she heard a knocking on the door and in instinct she said two words, "come in". Twilight said in a small tone of fear and curiosity.
When the door open she saw a skeleton of a minotaur cover in armor looking at her saying nothing then she was at lost after a solid 10 minutes twilight said the first word, "hi". She said to the skeleton.
"Haaaah". The skeleton said to her.
"i am sorry what?". She said back to him.
"Haaah....haah...haaaaah". He said to her and showing her his hand to outside the door.
"you what me to go outside and follow you?". She ask him.
The skeleton did a yes gesture using his head. Twilight got out of the room and follow the skeleton and she saw the most weird monsters and creatures made of bone and rotting flesh some from her world and some she never saw before in her life. Then when they got to the hallway to the throne room she heard music like the music octavia perform in canterlot. To her surprise she saw a larger throne room then the castle of the two sisters its was darker all so in the room she saw several bipedal creatures some in armor and some wearing dresses in black and red. Among them she saw princesses celestia and luna talking to the creatures and eating the food before she went to them to ask what are they doing here she began to hearing singing from the center of the room it was sandro and he was wearing is mask but he had a different cloak and he was all so wearing a strange amulet. Then she heard him sing in a strange language she never heard.
"Dies irae, dies illa,
When sandro finish singing every creature applaud and saying praise words to him even the princesses applaud him. After the round of applause sandro saw twilight and bow his head to her and said " glory to the leader of the alliance twilight sparkle". After saying that all the creatures, celestia and luna bow to her. Needless to say twilight was blushing.
Sandro then spoke again," she will lead the army of the living and me leading the army of the dead we will destroy the demon force from this land for the glory of all. After all Asha uses all". He said and after saying that all the creatures in armor follow his words raising their swords and saying "ASHA USES ALL". After the speech sandro, celestia and luna went to talk to twilight.
"so did you like my little speech?". Sandro said to twilight.
"did you have to said all of that i feel embarrassed". Twilight said to the necromancer.
"you maybe don't like it now but this speech was for boosting the moral and to establish trust between equestria and marrowgrave". He said to her in respond.
"marrowgrave?". She ask him.
"don't you remember how i use the staff to turn the old useless ruins to this beautiful necropolis, no offense your majesty celestia and luna once again i am very sorry for doing this to your old home but it is for the war effort against the demons of Ur-ignis". Sandro said to her.
"i have to agree with sandro on this one his army now know you and him are the leaders and will show you respect now we need the army of our land to do the same". Luna said to twilight.
"and about that when did you and celestia got here?". Twilight ask them.
"about four days ago". Celestia said to her former student.
"FOUR DAYS,i was sleeping for FOUR DAYS".she said loud in shock.
"yes and before we will tell you of what happened in that four days i think the rest of my court what me to sing another song so if you don't mind we not find a place to sit and eat while i sing a song that is somehow fitting to what our future foretold". Sandro said and going to the center of the court.
"for a necromancer he is very charming but i i still don't trust him". Celestia said to luna and twilight.
"maybe but that necromancer is are best hope to stop this demonic invasion". Twilight said to celestia.
"and our best hope is about to sing another song for us from his world and i really want to hear it". Luna said to them and drinking wine that a skeleton diamond dog give her.
"to all of you this is a song about the greatest captain of our world but i think this song can work out in our event". Sandro said and began to sing in that same strange language while drums and quire sang along side him.
"HOEYIA OTHA METH, RAZAMGAR!
KRAK DAGUL!
MIBUR USTAR!
MANWA MACIL,
HOEA MIA HESI MI,
AYANA TURMA ISI.
ZOGTAR BURZUM DAGUL, AHAKUM!
QUANTEA KHAARE LAUTA
SIDI MAE FISI MA,
MIBUR CRAG HACK!".
As sandro was done, another round of applause said to them," enjoy all your heart desires for tomorrow we prepare for WAR, ASHA USES ALL". As he done saying that the rest follow "ASHA USES ALL". He went back to the ponies and luna started to talk first.
"that was a wonderful song you said it was about some captain in your world can you elaborate more about him?". Luna ask sandro.
"but of course i only had the chance to meet him once and he did not care that i was a necromancer the only thing he wanted was to test my skill in battle. His name was CRAG HACK legendary pirate captain of the savage sea". Sandro said to her.
"but what did the words of the song are it was hard to enjoy the song when you don't understand it". Celestia said to the necromancer.
"very well i will try to translate the language of ashan and your world is similar but less pony puns, it goes something like this". He said to them and sang the song again but in equestrian.
"We came for you, to fight! We're from Razamgar
Four Warlords!
Glory Army!
Prepare your weapons,
I am ready to hide!
Holy shield will protect us,
Follow me closely, Raiders of the Dark!
Four Castles!
Our elemental magic will save us.
Four Perished!
Kill those fierce beasts!
Holy justice from the temple will come for you
We are ready to fight!
Glory Crag Hack!".
When sandro finish the translate version of the song celestia and twilight did not think the song had so much war and death but luna had a different reaction to the song.
"that was wonderful its like the old days of equestria you know the time we had much more conflict in the land". Luna said to her sister in so much joy.
"i glad you like it maybe i will tell you more stories of my world when we will have free time". Sandro said to luna.
"but i don't get one thing". Twilight said to every.
"and what is that miss twilight?". Sandro ask her.
"well belketh said you are from a world name ashan but this song is about a place called Enroth is that a place in ashan?. Twilight said to the necromancer.
"ah i see you found something that is a hard subject to some to understand. You see before i came to this world i was traveled other worlds as well not many can do it you now". Sandro finish explaining to them.
"well now i am curious how many worlds did you travel to?". Celestia ask the necromancer.
"i traveled to five worlds if you count yours as well". Sandro said to her.
"how is this possible!". Twilight said to him.
"it is very hard to understand so i will say only this a web of a spider". Sandro said to them.
"that doesn't make sense". Twilight said to him.
"now twilight if sandro said its hard to explain you need to except it even if its not making sense". Celestia said to twilight.
"i got it". Luna said to them.
"no you didn't". Celestia said back to her.
"yes i did sister its very easy to understand". Luna said to her.
"well then luna what is web of a spider supposed to be?". She ask he sister.
"well a web of a spider is what holding all the worlds like the world tree and the web is like a crossroads to every world". Luna explain to her sister.
"well what do you know she understand that". Sandro said to them.
"every world in the universe is build like a spiders web?". Twilight ask him.
" well no the tree metaphor is all so good, the web of spiders is for necromancers to understand its what belketh told me when i first enter Nar-Ankar capital of the Necromancers kingdom in the land of Heresh. And before you ask it was not my home i was born in the bull duchy but after that i build my first Necropolis Alma-zeri i named it after the only one person i care in the world my sister alma, and after that when i establish the order of the void me and my two disciples,Lucretia dela Segadora my sisters grand grand granddaughter that she turn into a Vampire Princess and Markal a very talented Necromancer that i toke under tutelage after i saw how he manipulate some of his enemies, he remind me of you twilight in a scholar way,we all moved to the city of Lorekeep". Sandro said to twilight and the sisters.
"well after i will tell you of what happened in the days you were sleeping i will give you a small tour of my kingdom then we will sign a peace treaty and a military agreement between equestria and marrowgrave and after that i will visit ponyville and canterlot in this form while i wearing the full set of Death's Embrace its my formal outfit and it makes me all so the strongest necromancer in this world, so do we have an agreement". Sandro said to twilight.
"ok but you have to promise me to be patient when you talking to my friends or any other creatures for the sake of this alliance". Twilight told sandro all most begging him.
"don't worry twilight i will behave like an angel". Sandro said to her.
"now lets begin the story it happened six hours after you pass out and my guards told me the rulers of this land want to enter so i let them in and then celestia was saying and i am not joking, "by the power of the sun if you don't tell me what you done to twilight sparkle i will burn you", from there it became more fun". Sandro said as he continue the story.

chapter eight(will of the necromancer part 3)-a suns rage and a Netherking raises
Sandro first person narrative:
"so here i am telling the young princess what happened when she was in a coma for four days how lovely".
marrowgrave castle:
"judeais is our guest in the bed chamber like i ask?". Sandro ask the the faceless.
"yes but i fear it will take time for her to wake up after what you did to her". Judeais said to sandro.
"well then lets make do with what we got. Inform the liches to prepare the crypts and graveyards we are going to awake every corpse,skeleton and ghosts in this forest. And send word to the flesh carvers to begin crafting some new undead servants for my legions". Sandro said giving orders to is minions to do is bidding.
"judeais head to to chamber of shadows and send a letter to canterlot tell them that sandro, Netherking of Marrowgrave castle is inviting princesses celestia and luna for an audience and that they can being twenty and only twenty guards if they will bring more or less than twenty then princess twilight will pay the price". Sandro said to the faceless.
"why to go to such extremes?". The faceless ask the necromancer.
"to show them that i have all the cards". Sandro said back to him.
"and one more thing, after you send the letter i want you to go to canterlot gardens i have plans for a certain bug". Sandro said to judeais and then he went to the temple of the netherworld.
canterlot castle:
"i am worried sister that dark magic from the everfree is like nothing i have seen before". Celestia said to luna in concern.
"you don't say i never had that feeling of dread before in my life". Luna said to her sister even if she was lying to her she know it was the necromancer Alejandro.
When the sisters done speaking to each other the doors burst open and a pony guard along side former captain shining armor came to them out of breath.
"I have a letter for princesses celestia and luna". The guard said.
"tell us my little pony what is the letter saying". Celestia said to the guard.
The guard started to read the letter. "Greeting monarchs of sun and moon you are invited to celebrate the new alliance of harmonic death between equestria and marrowgrave. The host of the party is high Netherking, necromancer sandro.
"princess we need to to something to... Save...twilight". Shining armor saw celestia looking at luna but her way of looking at her was not concern it was rage pure rage and then celestia started to speak to luna.
"luna if you know something about this necromancer you better say it now!". Celestia said to her sister.
"i don't know much about him is not from our world and is more powerful then us, when i met him in ponyville". Before luna can finish her words celestia interrupted her. "you met him in ponyville, is he the monster twilight mention in her letter two days ago". Celestia said to her sister in rage.
"he was under the protection of your student sister, and what would you what me do he is far more stronger then me or you, his power rivals discord but that necromancer from what i know of him he will not hurt twilight he if i have to guess he wants us to come to him". Luna said to her sister.
"then we shell do so on his terms, shining armor gather nineteen of our best guards and we will go to this marrowgrave". Celestia said to the former captain.
"yes princess but where is this marrowgrave?". Shining armor ask her.
"Well its say in the letter actually its in the former castle of the two sisters". The guard said to them.
Then after hearing that celestia was glowing like fire and she shouted "HE DID WHAT!". So loud everypony in the castle heard her.
marrowgrave outskirts:
As the small group of guards lead by shining armor,luna and celestia enter the outskirts of the dead forest they saw how much change the the smell of rotting and decay all around and a thick dark clouds of unholy magic was all around them it was like something has turn the forest to a nightmare night house.
"I don't like it this have to be a trap". One of the guards said out loud.
"well we need to push further for twilight". Shining said to them.
"Something is coming!". One of the guards said.
When they all prepare for battle something came out of the forest canopy it was large manticore but at the same time it was not a manticore it had the body of a manticore the sting of a manticore but it was pale and rotting but it did not had a lion's head it had a face of some unknown creature and it started to speak to them.
"Greetings guests of marrowgrave i will be your tour guide for today til we get to the castle".the monster said to them.
"WHAT ARE YOU". One of the guards said to him.
"you are out of line soldier". Shining armor said to the guard.
"Its ok former captain shining armor or is it prince armor of the crystal empire, my kind can be terrifying to the weak hearted". The monster said to them.
"How did you know all of the things about me?". Shining ask the monster in fear.
"Well my master informed us and from what i can tell he learn all that from the child of the goddess of darkness". He said to him.
"But i think my master can tell you all of that when we get to the castle". He said to them.
As they follow the monster they saw timber wolves but larger made of bones,dead wood and meat and the wolves did not stop watching them.
"what kind of timber wolves are they?". Luna said to the rest of the group.
"That is not a timber wolves they are much stronger versions of them crafted in gravestone workshops by the flesh carvers of our necropolis we called flesh wargs". The monster said to them.
"ah thank you for the explanation ahhh i am sorry i don't know your name or what you are, are you some kind of manticore?. Luna ask him.
"No need to be sorry my name is no longer matter it was gone when i was turn in to this but my kind well we are known as Lamasus.
"so that is not your true form?". This time celestia ask the Lamasu.
"Well no my kind appear in the year 512 YSD, when the Wizards of the Seven Cities created the Beastmen as guards, servants, and “playthings”. The Lamasus were one of many experiments, specifically born of the unnatural fusion of human criminals and Manticores. The resulting creatures were naturally infected by a strange form of pestilence. Too unstable and short-lived, they were considered a failure until a humble embalmer discovered their true potential. A student of the Necromancers, he simply rose the Lamasus’ dead bodies and offered them as a gift to his masters. Our function as plague vector, coupled with their physical might and mobility, made them deadly and versatile troops in the Undead armies of the rising Necromancer cult".
"that is so horrible and wrong how could they do this even if its to criminals". Celestia said to him.
"Well scientific curiosity and magic". He said to her.
Then they done talking and walking and the Lamasu started to talk again. "Now then welcome to the necropolis of marrowgrave the gate guards will open you the doors if you show them your letter if excuse me i need to fly to the hunted woods have a good day and a word of advise don't act like a fanatical zealot we don't like that in our home". As he finish saying that he fly away.
marrowgrave castle:
Upon arrival at the castle gate the group found its self staring at two skeletons of a bipedal cats that where wielding six swords and next to them a strange bipedal in full plate armor. The strange one started to talk.
"Letter of invite?". The strange bipedal ask.
"here it is". Luna said to him and giving him the letter.
"Very good please come the master is in the throne room". He said to the group.
It was ten minutes of walking but when they arrive to the throne room the strange bipedal started to introduce them.
"Presenting princesses celestia and luna of canterlot, rulers of sun and moon,defenders of the realm of equestria and second paragons of harmony". He said to the room.
And then he started to talk again now to the princesses. "Monarchs of sun and moon i presenting before you my lord
"it is good to meet you once more lady luna i hope you miss me as much as i missed you,and you must be big sister celestia, twilight said you have a divine grace you know before she pass out from my magic". Sandro said to celestia.
Celestia was in rage and said to the necromancer. "by the power of the sun if you don't tell me what you done to twilight sparkle i will burn you". At this point celestia had fire in her eyes ready to strike the necromancer in his place.
While she was threatened him sandro snap is fingers and before the group of ponies where about fifty strange bipedal creatures from no where and they had swords full of dark magic. After that sandro started talking again.
"you know what where you hoping to achieve by threatening to kill me in my home where i have more power then you and you have less, all because you want to save your student that clearly you think of her more of a daughter then apprentice". Sandro said to celestia.
"what have you done to twilight". Shining said to him in demand.
"and who are you exactly?". Sandro ask shining armor.
" i am shining armor twilight's brother and i want to know what have you done to my sister you monster". Shining armor said to sandro.
"sorry i have to ask are ponies really related to each other all of you have stupid different names its hard to know". Sandro said to shining armor ignoring is demand.
"that is it i challenge you to a duel if i win you have to let us see twilight". Shining said to the necromancer.
"and why in the name of the void i would accept that duel,if luna did not beat me how can you". Sandro said to the former captain.
"why are you afraid to lose". Shining said to the necromancer in a mocking tone.
"are you serious,was this really the captain of the royal guard what an embarrassment". Sandro said to the room.
"fine if you really want to fill the power of necromancy i will grant you this duel and if i win all of you will have to do what ever i say until your visit is over, and one more thing i will not duel you that will be unfair to your sister if her brother will become a corpse in my army so i will chose a champion to represent me in the duel deal". Sandro said to shining armor.
"deal". Shining said back to the necromancer. "perfect lets go to the bonefield arena and then we can begin". Sandro said to all of them and they started to go to the arena.
marrowgrave castle bonefield arena:
The arena was cold, made from bone and stone, it was under the necropolis and it was larger then then the training yard in canterlot. And then luna started to talk. " how big is this city of death". Luna asked the necromancer.
"a necromancer never reveal its secrets". Sandro said back to luna.
"well where is your champion". Shining said to sandro.
"such impatient behavior he will be here soon". Sandro said to shining.
A few minutes later and a loud galloping was heard from across the arena and from the east side came a view of a familiar creature. It was a centaur an undead centaur but it was different then tirek it was larger full of armor and held a spear.
" i believe you are familiar to that creature i want you to have a nice battle before you will except your defeat". Sandro said to the pony.
" i will beat that monster of yours". Shining said to sandro.
"well then,begin". Sandro said and the undead centaur began to charge at shining armor for hours every time shining hits the undead it keep coming back.
While the rest of the guards where cheering shining armor a familiar shadow appear out of thin air.
"sandro i have done as you ask she is ready when you will finish this pointless battle". Judeais said to sandro.
"i am sorry but why is this battle pointless". Luna asked the strange shadow like creature.
"well lady of shadows when you battle the undead its all ways a battle of attrition until the necromancer is out of mana but when you battle the undead in the necropolis you will never win in a fair fight because the necropolis will supply the necromancers and the dead in infinite amount of necros magic". The faceless said to her.
At this moment shining armor fell to the ground,tired and can't move then sandro teleported to the arena and said to shining armor, "i won". After saying that sandro drop him to the ground and ask celestia to tell the guards they brought to take the former captain back to canterlot since they are useless.
throne room after the story:
"after that i took them to your room to show them you are safe plus i told them about our task and to prepare the world for the demon army. Then they left and in the next two days i worked on a project that will boost my undead power and now i think its time to reveal it". Sandro said to them in a cheering tone.
"my i present the new general of my legions of undeath she was part of a race of shapeshifters that scavenge food like rats and now she is a priestess of asha. I welcome to our ranks queen chrysalis,no not queen i present to you Namtaru chrysalis". After sandro finish is words the three princesses said at the same time. "WHAT!".

chapter nine(will of the necromancer part 4)-when the queen falls,a Namtaru is arisen
Sandro first person narrative:
"after i finished the story i revealed my creation to the ponies and they will what an explanation. To think i will have to explain my self to horses what i do for the art of creation void take me".
marrowgrave castle:
"WHAT". The three princesses said at the same time.
"what is the matter with you ponies about overreacting to every small thing that is happening in your life". Sandro siad to the princesses.
"well how you had reacted if you heard that a criminal of the first degree will some how appear outside her imprisonment". Celestia answer to him in anger.
"what you describe as imprisonment is the basic function of a cockatrice. I mean petrifies some one to stone that is so stupid and more then that why are you keeping them in your garden like a lawn ornaments no wander my agents found her so fast". Sandro said to celestia using a disappointing and sarcastic tone.
"why did you free her at the first place!". Luna said to sandro in demand.
"well once you see the new chrysalis you will know that she is not what she used to be. In every aspect of life or unlife in that matter". Sandro said to luna.
"so where is she?". Twilight ask him.
At twilight said that music started to be heard and from the large door to the court she enter the room the former queen of the changelings but she was not the same is was taller then what she was in the past she had on her body a combination of a armor and a dress, her former crown was gone now she had a larger black and yellow crown on her head part of her face and her skin was pale black like the rest of the dead, and when she set in the throne all the dead except sandro bow to her and then chrysalis started to talk to the princesses.
"we meet again princesses of equestria i hope you are treated well in our necropolis". Chrysalis said to them.
"chrysalis what happened to you...you look like you are". Twilight said to her but was interrupted by chrysalis .
"dead, well a small price to pay when you become the will of the spider". Chrysalis said to twilight.
"so are you going to seek out your vengeance upon equestria now that you have the power to control the dead?". Celestia asked the former queen.
"is that all you want to know, disappointing but very well i will give you an answer. No i will not seek vengeance on equestria that was the goal of queen chrysalis and she is gone from this world". Chrysalis said to celestia.
"what do you mean when you say that she is gone from this world are you not queen chrysalis?". Luna asked chrysalis.
"no, queen chrysalis and all of her deeds in world of the living where gone the moment i was reborn as a Namtaru and my only goal now is to serve the spider goddess as her will and voice in the necropolis". Chrysalis answered luna.
"but how and when all of this happened?". Twilight asked her.
"oh i can answer that for you young twilight, now come close to me my little ponies i have a story to share with you about how chrysalis turn from a living queen to an undead priestess of asha,now this story starts after i give luna and celestia the reason why i build this necropolis at the first place and after they want off back to canterlot i told them that i will send a message when young twilight will awake from slumber but when all of that was happening i had send my agent judeais to recover something in canterlot that got me intrigued you see when i first came to this land i want to ponyville after the bad formalities me and luna started to talk and she told me what happened in your kingdom six months ago about a small pegasus child,a magic eating centaur and and a bug like creature that can shapeshift that you call a changeling. But that was interesting to me since i know that a changeling is not a bug in my world so while i gave you a tour i told judeais to bring back this changeling to see if my theory is correct and i told him to cast a strong illusion on the stone prison so no one will notice and when you left to canterlot i want to the lower crypts to meet this changeling. And from this point our story begins". Sandro told them and he began to tell them the story about his meeting with chrysalis.
two days ago:
marrowgrave castle lower crypts:
"no i will have my revenge!". Chrysalis shouted as she awoken from her slumber.
"i was in cast to stone and was placed in canterlot with cozy glow and tirek. Damm them all i will have my revenge on the ponies, but first how did i got out of the stone prison and more important where am i this is not canterlot this place is drowning in dark magic". Chrysalis said to her self but was shortly interrupted when she heard a something coming to her.
From the darkness she heard hissing sound a familiar hissing sound of changelings and she had enough of changelings not obeying her commands. "you dare hiss at your true queen show your self cowards!". Chrysalis was yelling at them and she lit her horn and shot a strong ray of magic at the sky to show her power and to see the fools that hiss at her.
As the area was cover in light from chrysalis horn she saw the ones that disrespect her. But what she saw was not some hiveless feral changelings or the peace loving traitors of her son thorax. No what she saw before her were not changelings but monsters in changeling form they were changelings made of bone and tattered flesh, some were cover in dark green glow and some in dark purple glow like living nightmares. Even chrysalis started to show fear and started to run only to find that she was not in some cave or hive but she was in a large tomb with no doors she started to fly up in order to find some way out but she then saw them they were like the dead changelings on the ground but they were larger and faster then her and their body and legs were not of a changeling but of spiders and bats. When the new horrors saw her they hiss at her in a form of a screech so loud that she fell down to the center of the tomb.
"don't come any closer stop now!". She yell at the monsters but they did not stop.
Chrysalis was afraid she did not know what to do she stared at her death and in the panic and fear in her body she was desperate and she said four words she never said in her life. "somepony please help me!". She yell to the tomb in hope that somepony will hear her.
"well since you ask so nicely i will help you". A voice came out of nowhere and the sound of something snapping was heard and all the dead changelings stop moving and where staring at chrysalis with their dead hollow eyes.
From one of the archways of the tomb a dark green portal was opened and an unknown bipedal creature. From his voice he was male but he had a strange mask on his face, he was wearing a dark green cloak and small bits of armor on it, on his neck he had an amulet in the shape of a skull,his finger had a ring of similar design and he was carrying in his hand a staff that chrysalis felt the strong dark magic from it.
"You are welcome by the way". He said to her.
"Who are you i am ordering you to tell me where i am and how i got here". Chrysalis said to him.
"How cute you think you have any power in this place, if you did not notice you are surrounded by your dead children after i resurrected them and did some modification on them, but we will have time to talk about them later now lets introduce ourselves to each other my name is netherking sandro ruler of the undead kingdom of marrowgrave. And you are?". Sandro asked her.
"Chrysalis queen of the changelings and what did you mean undead kingdom before i was cast to stone no such kingdom of the dead existed how long long i was in stone?". Chrysalis asked him.
"About six months at least that is what miss luna said to me when we talk when i first came to this horrid land". Sandro answer to her.
"You are friends with princesses!". Chrysalis yelled at him.
"First stop yelling its not complementing on your royal attire, second i have no friends only means to an end". Sandro said to her.
Chrysalis stop yelling at him and she had a little blush on her face and she said to him. "Oh you like my royal complexion well i can show you more if you will help me in some things involving some six ponies". Chrysalis said to sandro in a seductive tone.
"Are you trying to seduce me my you sure work fast but i have to ask you to stop your powers of seduction will not work on me and you know it you eat love don't you so try to find some in me". Sandro said to her.
"Well then since you give me the ok i will don't blame me for what will happened". Chrysalis said back.
She then started to eat love but she met something else not love but something dark,lonely,ancient,powerful but most important it was empty no emotions of love or hate and then she herd a noise.

The voice said and chrysalis started screaming but it was in her head.
On the out side sandro looked at her and saw she was crying and not moving so he snap in fingers and chrysalis started to crawl into a ball and she asked him. "What was that?" she asked him between her tears.
"That my good queen was an ancient power source i am using when i casting spells, every living using that power will go mad and die but my kind are immune to madness or death". Sandro told her and help her up.
"And why is that why are you immune to that thing". Chrysalis asked him.
"Well i was hoping you will ask that". Sandro said to her as he was taking off the mask.
"Allow me to introduce my self again my name is necromancer sandro all so known as The Shadow of Death and i am here to offer you a gift chrysalis former queen of the changelings to become something more powerful then a changeling but to become the wielder of fate and dreams of the living and dead, and you will become a hive queen again a hive queen to every undead on this planet. Now i will give you time to think about it and ask any questions you have". Sandro said to chrysalis.
"I have only two questions". Chrysalis said to him.
"Ask away". Sandro replay.
"One in order to become that powerful i will have to die?". Chrysalis asked him.
"Yes a small setback but you will feel nothing all the way". Sandro said to her.
"Ok and two will i be stronger then the elements of harmony?". She asked him.
"Chrysalis my dear you will have the power to command the dead what can harmony do to a legions of undead that will kill all they see when you command them". Sandro said to her.
"Ok i made my decision turn my into an undead so i will have the power to get my revenge". Chrysalis said with a grin on her face.
"That will not do chrysalis in order to become what your Mother wanted you to become you most let go of the past and except the necromancers code". Sandro said to chrysalis about the path she will take.
"You new my mother". Chrysalis said to him.
"Well not your real mother i met your ancestor the first of your kind and let me tell you this chrysalis from the moment i saw you i new what you are and you are not a changeling you are a Namtaru". Sandro said to her.
"I am a what?". She asked him.
"You chrysalis are a Namtaru let me explain: Namtarus, or Fate Spinners, are emanations of the Mother Namtaru, an avatar of the Spider Goddess, a truly divine reflection of the Death aspect of Asha.They can either assume the form of a spider-woman hybrid or that of a female humanoid with two legs and six arms.Worshipped by the Necromancers, who use their venom to sustain their ranks of Liches and Vampires, Namtarus will often be present at the founding of a Necropolis, like the queen of a hive, to fortify its foundations and nurture its growth.The Namtarus regularly counsel their devotees through whisper, rhyme, and even dream.Under their protection, the Undead comb the region for lost souls which they then recruit to swell their ranks. The moment i saw you i new you are like your ancestor the Great Namtaru or Mother Namtaru after all i did try to kill her and all of her kind of the face of ashan but i failed i did not kill them i mange only curse them. But you most understand if you don't clear your mind the process will destroy your soul do you understand". Sandro said to as he prepared the ritual.
"Very well tell me what i must do". Chrysalis said to him.
"Say what i am saying in the same order". Sandro said to her and he began the ritual of asha's kiss.
"Life is change, chaos, filth and suffering. Death is peace, order, everlasting beauty". Sandro said.
"Life is change, chaos, filth and suffering. Death is peace, order, everlasting beauty". Chrysalis said it after him.
"Asha ruler of life and death let this one join your rank as one of your most devoted and made her in your image". Sandro said to the chamber and then nothing happened.
"It did not work". Chrysalis said to him.
"No the ritual is not finish one more part must be played". Sandro said to her.
"And whats that?". She asked him.
"Well you are smart so answer me this what do you think is the last part in a ritual named ritual of asha's kiss". Sandro said to her.
"Oh OH you mean you and i need to kiss". Chrysalis said to sandro.
"Yes is that a problem, a moment ago you wanted to sleep with me for power and now i give you the power over death and all you need to do is to kiss me". Sandro said to her.
"Fine kissing a skeleton won't be the worst thing i did in my life". She said to him.
They came close to each other and they kissed after the kiss a dark green glow surround chrysalis and for ten minutes she was in a strange cocoon and seven hours later she emerge out of her cocoon but what came out was not chrysalis the changeling but what came out was chrysalis a Namtaru fate weaver. She had the lower body of a spider and the upper torso of a human but in the color of a changeling,she had a dark carapace armor on her upper body,two pincer arms and a huge crown in the color of yellow that got to some parts of her face. When she open her eyes they where glowing green full of necromantic power. And when sandro saw her he started to talk to her.
"Welcome back to the world of the living or dead if you want how are you feeling". Sandro said to her.
"I feel better no hate or love only the will the serve the spider" chrysalis said to him.
"Well i am glad you are ok but i need to apologize to you". Sandro said to her.
"Why is something wrong with me?". Chrysalis asked him.
"Well no but i need to inform you that you are not a Fate Spinner you became a fate weaver allow me to explain: The Fate Weaver is Asha's compliment to the Fate Spinner. Where the latter unravels the fragile threads of life and death from the substance of void, the Fate Weaver incorporates them into its very fabric, following the pattern that the Spider Queen has ordained. Asha has also given them the power to control time whenever their purpose warrants". Sandro explain to chrysalis.
"Well that is an upgrade so what now?". Chrysalis asked the necromancer.
"Now you rest and tomorrow i will introduce you to your new hive and to some of our neighbors but for now sleep chrysalis Namtaru of marrowgrave necropolis". Sandro said and he exited the crypt and let chrysalis have her rest.

"so you see my acolytes all was in place all set in motion but only one more step before this world will meet its new residents from ashan i came up with the best way do to it and the future ruler of this land will help me without even knowing, its like what i all ways saying If you want something done right, do it yourself".
marrowgrave castle:
"and then we all heard the story of chrysalis reborn as part of the necropolis the end. So what do you think?". Sandro said to the princesses.
"so chrysalis this is not your true form". Twilight said ignoring the necromancer.
"well that is rude but i have some things to do in order to complete our peace treaty have fun til i come back". Sandro said to them and left them to talk.
"well no this is my true form but my Namtaru form is larger and to some more arachnid". Chrysalis said to twilight.
"by the way princesses i have to say something to all of you". Chrysalis said to the princesses.
"What is it". All the princesses said together.
"thank you for giving my children a second chance after all i did in my past life i can never atone for my past sins as queen chrysalis but as Namtaru chrysalis i will do what ever it takes to help defend the world from the threat of Sheogh". Chrysalis said to the princesses.
"we thank you as well if you want we can talk to king thorax maybe you can see your former hive". Twilight said to chrysalis.
"i will like that". Chrysalis said back to her.
"are you done we have much to do and very short time". Sandro said to them after returning to the room.
"its time i will show you some of the kingdom, if we to work together you need to know this miss sparkle marrowgrave castle is but only one of five necropolis cities i build in this past days along side seven forts full of undead guard. I will not show you the cities from the inside but the peace treaty we will make will be outside the capital city of nethermortis". Sandro said to twilight as they walk to the outside of the marrowgrave.
"nethermortis?". Twilight said in form of a question.
"yes i gave my kingdom a name before you ponies will gave it a name using some stupid puns". Sandro said back to her.
"we don't do that". Twilight said back to him.
"really well you have ponyville,canterlot and your kingdom is called equestria. Must i go on". Sandro said to her.
"i think the necromancer have a point". Luna said to twilight.
"can we go on with the tour and not find more flaws in our land". Celestia said in annoyance.
"i have to agree with celestia on that we have a long schedule and i want to return to my chamber". Chrysalis said them.
"well our first stop is on the mountain cliff". Sandro said to them.
All of them look to the cliff and saw a large city full of spires, dark magic clouded the sky,towers full of skeletons in robes and undead specters of the past patrolling the sky for intruders. When they finish seeing the dark city sandro started to talk.
"this is lichen-nadid in the language of the necromancers of heresh it means citadel of the lich". Sandro said to them.
"why its on the mountain?". Luna asked him.
"for a simple reason its on the mountain because its purpose is for learning and it stores most of my liches and many tomes of knowledge of ashan and its guarded by Incorporeal dead and by Wraiths along side the liches. This place can be reach only from the sky or by a portal from one of the necropolis cities". Sandro said to luna.
"why are you telling us how to reach the city?". Celestia asked him.
"well my sun maiden because non of you can really get in the city the dark cloud of dark magic will strangle your will to live and if you even can get in a legion of undead will show no mercy". Sandro said to celestia.
"well lets continue with the tour shall we". Sandro said to them and they kept moving to the dark forest of nethermortis
It was a long walk in the dark woods but in the view they saw a large field of dead ground that gave them a chill not a single tree only dead soil full of buildings. What they saw in the city was skeletons,Zombies and stone monsters working in lumber mills, mines and graves.
"welcome to ashur-necro or city of the dead. This necropolis is built for labor and trade the city its self is not ready yet but when the construction is finish all trade from nethermortis to any one that wish to trade will be from this place. We will sell all form of goods from spells to undead servants". Sandro said to them.
"you will sell your citizens that is very low even for ruler". Celestia said to him in a disapproving tone.
"well celestia i don't think the dead will have any opinions on the matter". Sandro said to them.
" lets continue we have two more cities to visit after me". Sandro said to them.
From the roads of ashur-necro they enter the forest once more and on the road they saw what they fear from the most. Undead creatures from equestria and more kingdoms like ponies,griffins,minotaurs,changelings and diamond dogs all of them on a march like a pilgrimage and then they saw after the dark woods a city wall that open. Inside was statues of a spider like creature and more tombs and crypts and in center was a large tomb like city and above it a large dark green crystal but the most unexpected of all was in the front of the building was a statue of chrysalis in her Namtaru form.
"well this small undead haven is bel-chrysal or chrysalis tomb if you want to call it. This is a holy undead city where the undead masses come to seek the praise of asha's will on this world you know her as chrysalis this place have two levels. One is the above that is what you see in front of you but the second level is an underground tomb full of undead spiders and the crypt guards that will protect the Namtaru life at all cost". Sandro finish tanking to them.
"and this is my last stop i have to rest now,till we meet again princesses". Chrysalis said to them and enter her city.
"are you going to ask or should i guess what you want to say lady twilight". Sandro said to twilight.
"how did you build all of this in four days even using magic this is not possible". Twilight said to him not believing all she just saw in her eyes.
"well if you want i will share with you something from ashan. We have a spell that can transform a city of your choice to a city that is respected to your school of magic its called conversion spell". Sandro said to her.
"i know you want to know more but when we get to the capital i will answer your questions, now lets go to the finale destination in our tour". Sandro said to them and they walk with him to the forest exit.
Out of the forest they saw the largest necropolis in this kingdom it was build like a pyramid full of temples and castles,shrines and statues of the same spider like creature,dark portals and skull pillars and a giant hourglass full of magic and last on every side of the necropolis was obsidian structures of giant spider legs. The princesses in awe could not revert their eyes not from fear but of beauty. And then twilight spoke first.
"what is this place". She said not removing her eyes from the city.
"this is the capital city of nethermortis, welcome princesses to nar-mortis or in your language crown of the dead". Sandro said to them.
"this city is a remainder of my former home of Al-Betyl and to a lost old friend". Sandro spoke in tone of sadness.
"you had friends?". Celestia said to him in a snarky tone.
"yes i had friends but this one was more of a brother and a foe to me. The Reaper of Souls lord vein". Sandro said to her.
"what happened to him if i may ask". Luna asked the necromancer.
"he died protecting the city of Al-Betyl even if he had no chance to win. The combined forces of The Seven Cities prove to be stronger then the power of the necromancers and he died like a fool and for what the love for his lover and child". Sandro answer to her in anger.
"but that is enough of ancient history we need to discuss the terms of the alliance we will forge". Sandro said to them as they move.
As the group kept moving a shadow formed next to them and before them the faceless judeais greeted them.
"greetings princesses what brings you to my tower of whispers?". Judeais asked them.
"you know way we are here faceless i build this tower for you to have your peace but this is my land". Sandro said to judeais.
"i am sorry i have to ask but judeais why are you called facelees". Twilight asked judeais.
"no don't ask him a question". Sandro said to her.
But it was to late and the faceless answer. "that is not the right question". The faceless said to her.
"what do you mean not the right question?". Twilight asked him.
"the faceless are masters of the art of shadows they can take the form of a living being they are both an ancient race and a secret society based on worshippers of the Dragon of Shadow Malassa. And they have the habit to not answer questions like normal people". Sandro said to her.
"now lets enter the tower so we can discuss the terms. You know we have only a year and two months before the demons will burn us all". Sandro said to them.
As they enter the tower they enter the towers peak and inside was a large room and a few places to sit. As every one set they began to speak the terms of the alliance, how to stop the demons and what is the next step to keep the world from ruin.
"now we stand before the brink of war in one year and two months a blood moon eclipse will cover your world and the gates of sheogh will open so we need to assemble all the world to prepare for war like they never saw before. But that is not all across the lands of your world are thirteen obelisks that will show us the tool that will save your world, the tear of asha but we need a dragon knight to use it. That is all we have to work with now and i can do some things to help but each of you must do your part till more will join us so i ask you princesses what can you all do for us to contribute to our victory?". Sandro said and asked the pony princesses of sun,moon and friendship.
"we have an upcoming event in canterlot the grand galloping gala we usually have only ponies but i can invite leaders and rulers from the rest of the world to inform them about the demons". Celestia said to the group.
"that will perfect on your part celestia. Now on luna's part she and judeais will have to find two ponies that will help us during our plans". Sandro said to them.
"who are they did we met them?". Twilight asked him.
"yes when you where in a coma i took the liberty to look in your memories and i found the two we will need i believe the names sombra and shadow pony are familiar to you". Sandro said to them.
"WHAT ". The princesses shouted at the necromancer.
"we will not bring any of them after what they have done especially sombra". Celestia said to sandro in rage.
"really celestia you will deny your world a chance to win and to cure your sister of her "darker side" no i think not you will do that to save your race and to be more on point you are not in charge anymore lady twilight is and putting emotions aside it will give us more tools to use". Sandro said to her.
"what do you mean to cure me?". Luna asked him.
"oh dear luna you do not know do you well let me tell you nightmare moon lives she was never gone in the first place". Sandro said to her.
"what, but the elements". "your elements are only a binding trinkets and no more then that plus you can't really destroy nightmare moon she and luna are the same. One follow tears and one follow blood but judeais can help you find peace and become whole again and the same goes for sombra and the shadow pony". Sandro said to luna.
"do not worry lady luna we of the faceless are masters of the mind no harm will come to you". Judeais said to luna.
"now moving to a more demanding terms you have to give amnesty to one cozy glow and tirek on behalf Namtaru chrysalis". Sandro said to them.
"why chrysalis asked that and only that?". Twilight asked him.
"she misses them and want to see them ones more". Sandro said to them.
"i think we can do that she can come to the gala". Twilight said to him.
"ok now that is over we have some more terms to view this one is about me and twilight. For starters i think i need to re introduce my self to ponyville and to see if the place is a good place for a base when the war will start". Sandro said to her.
"fine but only if you apologize to all of my friends and you will spend some time with them". Twilight said to him.
"i agree and now the last term princess of friendship twilight sparkle will take on the title of queen twilight sovereign ruler of equestria". Sandro said to them.
They all stare at him until twilight spoke. "i'm sorry but you want me to what". She said mumbling her words.
"i don't see the problem you home will enter a war they never saw before they will need a ruler strong enough to bring them hope and what is stronger a princess or a queen". Sandro said to her.
"do we all agree". Sandro said to them.
"yes ". The princesses of sun and moon said.
"fine yes". Twilight said to him.
"then we have an accord may this Council stay strong in the hardest times". Sandro said to them.
"by the way twilight can you come to the balcony with me i need to show you something". Sandro said to twilight.
As twilight came to the balcony she saw legions of undead staring at her from the ground and in the sky she saw visions of places she new like ponyville,canterlot,griffonstone and more and then sandro started to address the crowd.
"today is a day to remember for today two kingdoms of harmony and death united to stand together if time will acquire to and all was achieved by the hooves of queen twilight sovereign ruler of equestria". Sandro said to the crowd.
As sandro finish to talk the legions of undead began to shout and hail to sandro and twilight. On the other hand twilight said to the necromancer.
"why did you do that?". She asked him.
He simply replied,"now there's no going back".
meanwhile:
??????:
A pony was walking in halls of ash and bow on the floor.
"My lord our agents have infiltrated equestria and when the time comes they will strike". The pony said.
From the shadow a strange figure started to talk.
"good soon i will fulfill my promise to our masters and we will have this world burn starting with twilight sparkle".
Will of the necromancer arc end.

chapter eleven-a warrior's journey
Upon a dusty road somewhere in the middle of nowhere a vast life of green and water from the rain made the most
"ah what peaceful times we live in such serenity and harmony if only the rest of my kind where here it will be a true good day". The stranger said to him self.
Continuing is journey he suddenly heard loud voice from the path north. "maybe some one is in need of assistance". He said to him self and he continue to where the voice came from.
A few minutes later and the stranger saw one of the land natives, a unicorn pony in color of teal blue screaming in frustration to her carriage that was broken and stuck in the mud. "i shall go to assist her its the right thing to do after all". He said to him self and went to the pony in need.
trixie's pov:
"why me the the great and powerful trixie have to suffer such misfortune first was the rain after that i lost all my bits and now my cart is broken and there is no pony in sight to ask for help and i promise starlight to get home fast to help her in the school, things can't get any worse". Trixie said to her self in a desperate tone.
"saaa... Are you need of assistance fellow traveler". A voice was heard behind her.
She turn around and say to the voice. "oh yes i the great and powerful trixie need...of...help". Trixie was in an odd state she saw no pony but a creature taller then a pony probably the size of an ursa major he was wearing robes and a round hat,he all so carried four swords two on each side of his body but his most distinguish feature was that he did not have hooves or paws no he had a snake like lower body.
"i have no bits please don't hurt me". She said without thinking to the stranger.
"small pony i have no wish to hurt you i am asking if you need help fixing your cart". The stranger said to her.
"well if you are not here to rob me then trixie accept your help". Trixie said to the stranger.
"is trixie your name?". The stranger asked her.
"yes i am the the great and powerful trixie lulamoon the best magician pony in equestria". She said to him in her showmare way.
"saaa... I see, well i set eyes upon you for the first time, trixie of house lulamoon. I am akenshu, vessel to daimyo okano of the naga race". Akenshu introduce himself
"naga? I never heard of such race in equestria". She said to him.
"saaa you are correct we do not originate from your land of equestria, we come from the lands of Hashima Island in the Jade Ocean part of the Lotus Empire". Akenshu said to trixie.
" I never heard of this Hashima Island and i am sure that we don't have a place named Jade Ocean or Lotus Empire so either you are lying to me or you are hiding something". Trixie said to the naga.
"You are very caution lady trixie it is a good quality to have but i do not lie to you and i can't say much more for i am under a task from daimyo okano to seek the ruler of equestria queen twilight sparkle for diplomatic affairs". Akenshu said to the showmare.
"WHAT, twilight is now queen of equestria since when?". She asked him.
"I do not know what do you mean by that but she made an allegiance with a kingdom of the dead and my daimyo recognize the ruler of the dead kingdom. So he sent me to be an envoy to see if she is willing to help us when the demons of sheogh will come to this land". He said to her.
Trixie said nothing she tried to process all have akenshu's words like the fact that twilight is now queen, the part of a kingdom of undead and the last part of demons.
"Lady trixie are you ok?". The naga asked her.
"Well yes i mean no i don't know ok how am i suppose to process all of this". She answer to him.
"Time is the only way. But while you where in your thoughts i fixed your cart". He said to her.
"Well trixie thank's you for your aid, say i have an idea you need to see twilight and i am going to meet a friend of mine that live where twilight is, so maybe we can travel together". Trixie said to the naga.
"It will be a pleasure to travel along side you lady trixie may Shalassa water's our path in this journey". He said to her and smile in a peaceful way.
"Is shalassa your ruler?". Trixie asked him.
"Saaa in a way she is but shalassa is the god of the naga. The blue Dragon of Water is humble, quiet and secretive. She is the serene mystic, wisest of the dragons. In all things, she values diplomacy, versatility and adaptability. Yet, if she decides to act, she is swift and indomitable. You cannot hope to win when you are fighting the waves. Shalassa is the most graceful of the Elemental Dragons. Her features are all about serenity and wisdom. Her scales are a harmonious mix of jade-green and turquoise-blue. She is wingless and she has fins instead of legs. In fact, she looks like a sea-serpent. Her breath can be a tidal wave, a geyser of scalding steam, or a bone-chilling blizzard". Akenshu finish describe is dragon god.
"So your god is a dragon, i hope she is not like the dragons that live here". Trixie said to the naga.
"I met some of the dragons of your land and i have to say that i found them a disappointment". He said to her.
As they where continuing in the path to ponyville they saw some strange ponies in color of ash along side some griffins and diamond dogs mercenaries robbing from traveling ponies and akenshu did not injoy what he saw.
"Hold if you want to pass you need to pay a toll of 500 bits". The pony said to them.
"I can't pay this". Trixie said to the ash color pony.
"Then we will take your cart as payment". The pony said to her.
"That will not be necessary we have a great task to do in the town so we will move on, come lady trixie". The naga said to her.
"Not so fast scaly if you don't pay we will have to hurt you a bit". The pony said to him and he and his mercenaries started to show their weapons.
"Is that so very well then i accept your challenge". The naga said to him and he grab two of his swords and said to them. "I will show you the power of a kensei". he said while taking a stance
"Get him!". The pony yell at his mercenaries.
The griffins took to the sky while the diamond dogs grab crossbows,spears and swords. It was thirty five against one they started to shoot bolts at him only for the bolts to be cut in the way of the naga's swords. For a moment they felt like losing the one in front of them was not like the guards of canterlot or the rest of the military of equestria they did not know how to battle this stranger each time they strike they were deflected by the stranger. At this moment the ash pony had an idea.
"Shoot the mare behind him". He yell to the griffins mercenaries.
The griffins started to fire bolts at trixie while akenshu was fighting the diamond dogs.
Trixie tried to hide but in the storm of bolts one bolt hit her in the back.
"Damm by celestia its hurt". Trixie yell as she was in pain from the bolt.
"LADY TRIXIE, YOU HONORLESS DOGS YOU SHELL SUFFER THE POWER OF THE TIDE". Akenshu yell at the group of mercenaries.
He throw his robes and his hat to reveal all of his body. Trixie and the mercenaries saw something terrifying that day. Something like the centaur tirek but this stranger this naga was half serpent larger three times the size of a teen dragon,on his body was a set of armor like the ponies of the east use and he had four arms and now each had swords.
"Pagoda master of the Four Waves guide my blades as i go to battle". Akenshu said to him self and then pointing his sword to the ash pony.
“High tide, low tide and the waves of blood between. The poet kills with his brush, the Kensei writes with his sword". Akenshu said to the pony.
"And what is that supposed to mean". The ash pony said to the naga.
"It means that today you and your band of honorless mercenaries are going to meet your ancestors". Akenshu said to the pony.
"FOR SHALASSA". Akenshu released a war cry so powerful that some of the mercenaries began so fear the now enraged naga.
The naga charged the enemy like a tidal wave on the land with no mercy he cut down in less then three seconds twenty of the mercenaries. They died in their place the rest of the mercenaries that remain where in the air trying to shoot him from above only to fail. He cut every bolt they fire at him and then akenshu said to the last mercenaries.
"As the ripples subside, the water returns". And he strike the air with all his force to make a powerful slash in the wind what came after that was a rain of blood as the griffins fall from the sky.
Only one left the ash pony unicorn and akenshu was not done till he will finish this once and for all.
"You think you can stop me naga i know what you are and more then that i know you are tired killing you will be a pleasure". The ash pony said to akenshu.
"It was as if time stood still... And there was only him and me in a cloud of slashing steel and a mist of invigorating blood". Akenshu said to him self and then he said to his foe. "You underestimate the power of the sword saints of Hashima". He said to the pony.
"Well then die!". The ash pony yell and charged the naga with is magic infused sword.
Akenshu did nothing he closed his eyes and took a stand with his swords. When the ash pony was in range akenshu said to him self. " Four Waves style finale form". And the naga like a vortex all his blades spin around him for a second and it was over the pony of ash fall before him.
As akenshu put his swords away he turn to trixie. "Lady trixie let me help you". And he pull the bolt from her back.
"Thank you for saving me, its strange i never saw a pony in color of ash before and he smell like". Trixie was about to say something but her new friend akenshu said something first.
"Sulfur" he said to her with dread in his voice.
"Is it bad?". Trixie asked him.
"Saaa it is we need to get to your town fast to warn them if more like him are coming". Akenshu said to her.
"Well then lets grab our stuff and had to ponyville i think twilight need to do some explaining ". Trixie said to him as they continuing to travel on the path to ponyville.

chapter twelve-introductions once more and stories of the past
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Equestria of might and magic: Shadow of Death
Chapter one-from the void to a new land
Author's Note
This is my first ever story i hope you enjoy it.
I have bad grammar and spelling only in writing so if you do enjoy this story be patient i am new to this.
Note of the story:the Sandro i writing about is from the Ashan world but he have memories of his old life in Enroth since he can open portals to other dimensions like he did in the end of the war of the armageddon blade in heroes of might and magic 3.
Positive criticism is of course welcome in any form.
So on this notes enjoy.
Chapter one-from the void to a new land
the void:realm of ashan
"Because i brought you here lich! ".a strong voice called to him in the void.
"And to what i have the pleasure to speak to?" Sandro said in a condescending tone.
"We never meet but you know of me ". The voice said in a deep feminine tone.
"That doesn't help me you know i know many and to list them would be tiresome". Sandro said not thinking much of the one talking to him.
"I AM ASHA The Spider Queen and the dragon of life and death ". Asha roared at the empty of the void and a form of a titanic dragon as big as ashan it self. Her cosmic colors wings spreed in the void like a new constellations of stars in space forming in the void.
"Well this is funny to think i will die by the god that i rejected the most.well go ahead kill me i had a good run". Sandro said as he stood in his place wondering how the ruler of life and death will be his judicator and executioner.
"No i will not kill you i am not like my brother Urgash your fate will be more contradicting ". Asha said in rage and spite speaking of her brother the dragon god of chaos and creator of demons urgash the primordial.
"Oh well by all means share my fate to me then you damm dragon". Sandro said mocking the dragon god like she was some fool in a kings court.
"A deal. I will send you to a new world and you can do what you want in it so long you don't disturb the balance ". Asha said to him in the same condescending tone is use to speak to her.
"So its Enroth all over again if archibald could see this". Sandro said to him self reminiscing of his time of times of yore before the events of the "war of the armageddon blade" so long ago and how lucky to escape the destruction of is old world.
"So do we have a deal "?asha ask to see if the necromancer standing before her consider the offer in any way what so ever.
"Yes but before i accept your proposal if you willing to answer just one question if you don't mind"? Sandro said to asha in a tone she never herd from him. Tone of curiosity and trying to understand her words.
"You may ". Asha said after hearing the curiosity in his voice. She want to know his question to see if the lich master can surprise her in a new way or form.
"Why"? That was the only word sandro said not what land or if he will be reborn only the word why came from his undead voice.
"Why what ".asha said to him like is question was not impressive and she was some how disappointed in him. She excepted much more from the 507 years old necromancer.
"Why this i left your order and i murdered your servants so why a second chance". Sandro said to her trying to understand the dragon goddess. Even he the one that mange to control void magic did not understand the reason behind of this strange deal.
"The reason Sandro is you may did what you did but i am the mother of life and death and my reasons are my and my alone.plus i think the place i will send you will be punishment fit for you.so are you ready for your new life "? Asha said to him in a tone that was true to what you think of a god a voice of not caring about right or wrong because all was equal to her all life big or small was but insects to her. And sandro did not like this ever since he was a child up to his second death.
"After this words i cant stand the anticipation i am ready to meet this new world now send me you damm dragon". Sandro said not caring of the dragon words he know no matter what will happened is power over death and void will follow him.
"Very well by the power of life and death necromancer Sandro BEGONE FROM THIS WORLD!!! ".asha roared to the void opening a portal so strong that even sandro was standing in fear of her and no second later the portal took sandro from the void to this new land asha spoke of.
"It is done i hope you can handle this from this point on old friend ". Asha said to her self as she return to the world of ashan wondering if the innocent world she toss Sandro to can in any way handle the third most powerful threat of her world. Only time will tell.
Equestria:outskirts of ponyville
A strange flow of magic eruption was felt by every creature in equestria causing magical backlash in all spell casters and heavy migraines in all non spell users for only a two second moment and then it disappear. And in that moment a new visitor arrived to the land of harmony and he was not happy.
"To think she could give me a warning before teleport me so rude of her". Sandro said to him self cleaning is robe from dust and dirt after the portal spit him out. To say the least he imagine the world he consider his new home will be more like a cell in Sheogh killing demons for all is undead life but to his surprise he saw what he assume is a world of a child from the city of Irollan but more colorful to his taste.
"I say this new land have raw magical power unknown to me but it wont be long before i master it. i wonder if the local residents will act like savages or smarter that the average man". Sandro said as he observing the land hoping to see if some one notice the strong magical burst that he left after he landed.
"Oh well never mind that now lets see i still have in my possession the staff of the necromancer and the mask of false face and the Ring of the Unrepentant that will be handy if i will come to some trouble". He said as he grab is artifacts of power and continue to search for any civilization he can call a place to live in only to find a road and a sign he came closer to it and read whats on it.
"road to ponyville " "what manner of name is ponyville for a town even i can come up for a better name if i want to well beggars can't be choosers i suppose well lets go ahead to i hope will be my new home. Void take me". sandro said to himself as he cast a spell to summon his spectral void steed and want on the road to ponyville.
town of ponyville:town center
"yes we are all fine only some small migraines it will pass".starlight said as she was drinking a lot of water to ease the pain.
"speak for yourself my head wont stop hurting i think i gonna be sick". Spike said trying not to puke from his strong migraine.
"well we need to find out what did this and fast the rest of the girls are not here at the moment so we need to know if this was a magic attack or not".twilight said in a desperate tone in hope she is wrong and no one is trying to invade them again.
"Help us somepony a monster its gonna eat us!". Shouts from outside the castle could be heard in the streets of ponyville as the residents running in panic and fear from this "monster".
"spike send a letter to celestia to bring backup if something bad will happen,starlight i need you next to me if we will battle this so call monster out side. So lets greet this our new visitor".twilight said as she and starlight exit the castle to see what they will face.
Sandro POV
"stop right there monster you will not harm any pony so long as i am here". Twilight said to the strange bipedal in front of her only now i inspect him and see what is before her. A bipedal creature in black and green armor and robe, and what is to be a white mask that the eye holes glow in a strange blue color,she all so notice the strange staff he hold and she felt strong magic from it, but what is was more afraid of was the very very big shadow pony he rode on and she was thinking what happened to it.
"And to whom i am speaking now or to what i am speaking now in this case". Sandro said for a good reasons first he did not know in what manner of tone to use he need to know what rank in this world hierarchy this beast in. Second he never in is life as a man and undead he saw a hybrid of an unicorn and pegasus before is mind was intrigued to say the least.
"Me name is princess twilight sparkle and this is my student starlight glimmer and we are going to stop you from...doing...any... Harm. WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING!".twilight shouted at the strange visitor.
"Hahahahah why am i laughing? You are kidding me no disrespect young monarch but i cant take you seriously when your names sound like they from a child story book are all the names of this world are like that or jest yours i wonder?". Sandro saying to them and laughing to their face.
"well if our names are so stupid what is your name then". Starlight said as she was afraid this new stranger was like discord in is manner.
"How rude of me i beg your forgiveness and allow me to introduce myself i am Alejandro Dela Segadora former duke of the bull duchy, master sorcerer and lord necromancer at your service". Sandro spoke to them not reviling all he is or is name that all fear of. He wanted to see how they will react to what he said so far to be specific how will this small princess will react.
"hold on you are royalty,a sorcerer and did you say your world and one more thing are you a human?".twilight ask him in order to see if she was right about her suspension plus she now understand he all so said he is a necromancer.
"Well to answer your questions in order are yes,yes and well yes and no. But before you can ask more questions i need to ask what are you for you are not a unicorn nor a pegasus so what are you? Sandro said to her is curiosity at its peak.
"well i am an alicorn i was a unicorn but after i did a great fit of magic i ascended and along with me there are five alicorns. Now after i answered you question what did you meant by "yes and no" in the last sentence you said are you or are you not human?".twilight ask him wanting to get an answer from this stranger that she now knows his name that have a sound to it like princess cadance full name.
"Well to answer your question i will only say this i cant tall you for now at least not until i will have your absolute word no harm will come to me if i am to live in this world i want word as a monarch of this world that if some one is to harm me you will have my back can you promise me that one sorcerer to another". Sandro said to her testing if he can get more then what he wanted when he came to this town.
"ok fine i promise but you have to promise not to hurt anypony as long as you in my care do we have a deal?". Twilight said to him to show that she have authority and to see how he will react.
"Why yes we have a deal your majesty. And now i will tell you the answer to your query i was a human that is true but i am no longer one for i am what you call a lich a form of an undead necromancer. And i bet you want to know more about me as well so if you know a place we can talk in private eyes?. Sandro said to her in a the most respectful manner she ever saw in her life.
"why yes we can go to my castle and we will get to know each other".twilight said to him in hope to learn more about this man Alejandro and to take notes about his magic.
"Well by all means lead the way" sandro said to her as they went to the crystal castle in the shape of a tree. And he was thinking to him self if he can turn this princess to one of his acolytes of the void and get some political power in this world royal court. And for now he will need to gather as much information about this world if he want to bend this world to is bony fingers. Only time will tell.
